Great BBQ signals the arrival of Spring. When the snow melts in Vermont and warm weather arrives, backyard grills come out of storage to cook our favorites. But face it, not all of us have great culinary talent. If you’re not a grill master, you can still get the tangy taste of chicken and ribs at this school bus BBQ spot.
Curtis’ All American BBQ is an easily recognizable roadside stand in Putney. This delicious outdoor eatery serves mouthwatering BBQ from the windows of a repurposed school bus.

Curtis is a Georgia native who used to work as a fruit picker. He landed in Putney more than 50 years ago after a picking season that took him up the east coast and eventually opened this roadside stand.

The menu is simple. Curtis only cooks ribs and chicken, but those BBQ meats are done to perfection.
